I might do the same. Unfortunately, where I live, that store is treated like the red-headed-stepchild no one wants and often the corporate overlords don't send much of anything to them. Pretty much any kind of pinnacle tech is withheld from them. T.V's, monitors, cards, you name it. Over time they get them but by then its usually months later. Occasional exceptions for sure but definitely not the norm. Typical experience for me is to walk in, not find what the site said was in stock, track an associate down, and their 1st response is "have you tried online?". Couldn't tell you how many thousands they've lost from me in the last decade because of that. I've had numerous conversations with upper management over the years, gotten some nice gift cards for the time, but unfortunately their selection is often only marginally better than the local Walmart.
I'll let you know how it goes. This kind of thing absolutely ends up on the list of things I want to be wrong about. I get so jealous of all the stories people tell about walking into their local Microcenter for great deals. We really need one here. BB has no direct competition and doesn't care because of it. Years ago, when Circuit City, and a few others still existed, it was a great place to. After they all closed, things changed for the worse.
edit: I will say, just so it's not all doom 'n' gloom, I did have a nice 1st last year. That's where I go my LG-C9 65". They matched Amazon, delivered it, and for a small fee took a really old Phillips LCD. It was a good experience. The year before that I had to order my Z9D online beause they didn't have it in stock but I was able to have it delivered to the store for p/u.
